JOSEN
A tanning lounger with a misting ring built into the headrest — the one piece in the range that solves the problem of a float being too hot to stay on. Connect a garden hose to the inlet and a fine spray runs across the head and shoulders, which on a ninety degree afternoon is the difference between twenty minutes and two hours.
Underneath the sprinkler it is a proper XXL lounger: a reclined back, a wide seat that sits you low in the water, and a heavy duty floor panel. The sprinkler ring is on its own chamber, so if you want to use it as a plain lounger on a lake you simply leave that part empty and the float works exactly as it would without it.
This is the one we recommend for a south-facing backyard with no shade. It is also genuinely good with children in the pool, because the mist makes it a destination rather than a parent's island. Fold it, rinse it, and it goes back in the bag with the hose adapter stored inside.
Who it is for: shadeless yards and people who overheat. The mist changes the experience of lying on a float from endurance to comfort, and it is the model we hand to anyone who says they never last more than half an hour outside. At a party it quietly becomes the seat everybody queues for, which is either a recommendation or a warning depending on your household.
Care is ordinary. Disconnect the hose before you lift the lounger, because a full ring is heavy and the inlet is the one part that does not enjoy being pulled sideways. Rinse, dry, fold loosely. If you want the long version of hose pressure and spray height, the first inflation guide covers it, and the depth guide explains where a sprinkler float makes sense and where it is wasted.
